I'm not going to be critical until I see the end results here. No one knows the chess moves or the overall strategy that's actually taking place. 

This.

Now ain’t the time to get frustrated over either of these restructures. 

At the surface level I’m not a fan of the moves BUT these may have been needed for what is to come...

Didn't like signing Shaq to begin with.  Hated signing CMC a year early.

Now we make the contracts worse...at two of the least valuable positions is all of football.

Almost feels like Marty's back.

CMCs deal was an extension, not a new deal.  So in theory we didn’t sign him early.  We added years to his rookie deal

You negative Nancy’s still have Hurney syndrome.  Gurneys restructures were always bad for the team.  Give Fitt a chance and wait for the details to come out

Speaking for our most virulent opponents of restructuring... It's not that people see Marty's restructures as bad so much as they see all restructures as bad because they add to future cap and it can get out of hand if you're not careful.

I'm not a big fan of it myself, but I get that it's a necessary evil sometimes.

Yeah and I understand that.  What made Hurney so bad was WHO he restructured.  It was often players who were cut candidates at the time or would have been a year or two later (KK Short).  Spreading out guaranteed money for a player like CMC isn’t really a huge deal.

Doing some sleuthing around, OTC shows Shaq's base salary this season as $10.18M. Sportrac is showing his base salary this season as $990k with a $1.83M restructure bonus over the remaining three years of the contract plus two dummy years on the back end. Assuming this is correct, Shaq's restructure will free up $9.19M this season at the expense of pushing $9.19M down the road. AKA - classic Hurney restructure.

Moving on... looks like we just covered Moton's franchise tag. These restructures will clear up roughly $14.5M in cap space and Moton's tag will hit us somewhere between $13.5M and $14M.

      Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"

      Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
